Best for	Heritage bagged-cordless novelty — the only vacuum here you empty by binning a bag, not tipping dust. Cheapest to buy; the bags are the running cost.	Big RRP-to-street discount and genuine anti-hair-wrap make this a strong-value mid pick. This base SKU has no auto-empty dock (that's the IP3251UKT).	Challenger spec-per-pound: the highest headline runtime here, a stated 210 AW, anti-tangle roller and light in-hand weight — undercutting the mid Dysons on paper.	The lightest in-hand vac here and it ships with an auto-empty Clean Station — but its verified street price (~£599) is far above the sub-£400 'lite' positioning, and its replacement battery is dear.	The lightest Dyson stick with the laser dust-detect party trick. Price is the current street; the max-power runtime is brutally short — the headline 60 min is eco only.	A wet-dry floor washer, not a dry stick vac — it mops and vacuums hard floors in one pass. The sticker price hides the real story: rollers, filters and solution make it the most consumable-heavy option here.	The all-rounder premium Dyson: laser reveal, piezo particle counting and strong 240 AW suction. As with every stick here, its max-power runtime is a fraction of the eco headline.	Dyson's flagship — the strongest stated suction (280 AW) and highest eco runtime here, plus the priciest replacement battery. The premium buy if you want Dyson's most powerful stick.	The 'German reliability' pick with a unique 3-in-1 body (motor top or bottom), two batteries in the box and a lifetime filter — so its 5-year cost is essentially just the purchase price.	Highest AOV and the longest headline runtime (two batteries), with an auto-empty Clean Station. RRP £1,199 is a phantom price — it street-sells around £749–799, and near £599 direct with stacked codes.
